SHANGHAI TRAINING NOTES,

"Me Judice" writes in the M. C. Daily

News of the 12th inst-

Herewith I send you a few remarks regarding our training The griffins that came down recently by steamers and overland.are not superior lot compared with last Spring ones. In reference to their yesterday's and to-day's galloping, there is none worthy of special note. with the exception of one, a blue dun, which went for three quarters of a mile, with boy up. Three of Sassoon's clinkers were in the pow also, but the dun struck my fancy immensely; his movement no doubt is exceedingly good, and covering the distance in 1m. 37sec, he finished very cleverly by beating the others by half s length. I inspected him closely and found as far as appearance and shape go that he is all that could be desired for a racer, excepting that he is in very poor condition. When he has improved, he will be a very dangerous candidate for the Maiden Stakes,

Mr. Sassoon's mob of griffins are not up to the mark; a grey, rather widely built, struck me as the best; he was in the above inentioned pow, with Achee up, and came in second, time, min, 37 seconds, but his style of galloping is bad I would rather prefer the grey ridden by Mr. Dallas, who was third, but who went much better.

Messrs. Hart Buck's and Humphrey's string, of griffins went for a mile; time, zm. asseconds, abay ridden by Me; Ramsay winning it by three lengths from the other three. I think this one and a cream are their best; the others are not worth mentioning.

Out of Mr. Tell's lot of griffins the kept over ones, Pis Languard and Razy, are by far the best; the former galloped three-quarters with a crowd of duffers, boy up, on the Grass course, covering llie distance in 1m. 36sec. Taking into consideration with the other stables, I shall cer- tainly tip him to be the winner of the, Maiden Stakes. Ratoy went for half-a-mile with boy

Mr. Ring's sleeds as usual are in the dark; rumour has it that he possesses two very good griffins, a grey and a chestnut, but he has his trials on the Siccawei Road, and, very early, on the course. I have not taken the time of the performances of his ponies yet, but have kept my eyes on them. Mazagron and Chippendale are having trotting exercise, and seem to be, quite sound.

To call for the immediate dismissal of the London manager and sub-manager of the local Bank is an excessive request; but in promoting the competition they are certainly transgressing 'an unwritten law' in a way which shews the gravest indiscretion, to say the least. The local businesses with which Dakin Brothers of China, Limited, and the companies that we may expect to follow it, are to compete, are probably all of them customers of the local Bank and contribute to its profits, and it is perfectly natural and reasonable that they should be disgusted at this Now for the old panies.

CREPOO.

(FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.)

Chefoo, September 11th. To the resident of Shanghai visiting Chefso, and xchanging the heat and malaria of the for- mer for the cool and health-giving breezes of the latter, the question raturally arises why do not- more of the people of Shanghai visit Chefoo? The answer is two-fold: 1st, Japan, with its many attractions, and and, the exorbitant rates charged by the steamer companies, Forty tnels for a return ticket to Chefoo! That is simply prohibitive to the large class of limited means, and preventive to many who have the means, but dislike to give sa much for so little.

Forty tacts is nearly $55, and for $55 one can buy a return ticket from Shanghai to Kobe, Japán, have some tight or nine days on board the steamer, and pass through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.. Or, for a much less sum one can go to Nagasaki, and take a run up into the mountains back of there.

Who then would wish to go to Cheloo? I reply, many would still prefer to go on account of certain advantages, were it not for the high tariff. It may be said, the forty tacls includes servants and wines. Yes, but suppose one does not care to drink wine. The native fare from Shanghai to Cheloo nine taels and a like amount for return, so that the foreigner who CAPITAL SUBSCRIBED...$1,000,000, travels to Chiefoo and back, 'without a servant, pays eighteen-taels, willy nilly, for that for which he gets no equivalent whatever. Cannot the steamer companies see that they are over- reaching themselves in such grasping but short sighted management? Shanghai is not what it used to be, and it were well if the tariff of all the coast and river steamers were remodelled, and made more in accordance with the demands of the times.

Since coming here I have seen two or three lots of Bartlett pears, as fine as any I ever saw in the United States. Two of them weighed just a pound cach by actual weight.
